Changing Lanes Page #5
You didn't know
You married into it.
Since breakfast, I've left
the scene of an accident...
I just bankrupted a guy
I don't even know...
lied to my bosses...
pulled a false alarm at work...
discovered I'm a party
to defrauding a charity.
And now I'm sitting here...
seriously contemplating forging
a power of appointment.
Hey, mister!
Mister, hold out your hand.
- What?
- Hold out your hand.
How many hands you got?
Two.
Thanks.
- Oh, God.
- It's the file.
Sh*t!
- Wait. No, look, it's--
- It's not the power of appointment.
- It's a notice to appear in court.
- Where's the kid?
Look at this.
It's a phone number.
- Who's that you're with?
- Is that your business?
- Is she your secretary?
- No, she's a lawyer.
- Not your wife?
- No.
Guy Ieaves the scene
of an accident.
- Guy cheats on his wife.
- Can I have my file back, please?
It'll take me half an hour
to get to my bank.
If my credit's not on by the time
I get there, I destroy the flle.
- That's the deal.
- Okay.
Understood. Okay.
- That was pretty fast, huh?
- It was great.
Listen, I need you to turn it back
on as fast as you turned it off.
Amazing, wasn't it?
Two hours!
- Two hours!
- Yes, it was great.
It was terrifllc. I need you
to turn it back on right now.
Thirty minutes, okay?
Can you do that?
That's a llttIe harder.
Please, man.
Don't tell me that.
Please, do something.
Do something for me here.
You gotta do something, man.
I'll do my best.
- Hey, ba be, how's it going?
- I need to see you.
Well, it's not a--
- I need to see you right now.
- Is something wrong?
I just need to see you.
Meet me at Refugio's in ten minutes.
- I'll be right there.
- Don't be Iate.
- Okay, fllne.
- Okay, honey, thanks.
All right.
I gotta-- I gotta go.
Okay? I'll see you in a bit.
You're gonna tell me my credit's off
and I can't get the loan approved.
- Right.
- Check it.
Well, right here.
Well, that was strange.
You're right. Your credit's back on.
So?
Oh, this is so weird.
There you go. That's what I thought.
I knew I saw that.
I knew it.
- I can't help you.
- What do you mean?
- You just saw.
- There's still a problem.
No, no, no.
It's all taken care of.
It's all been solved.
Look in the computer.
It says you're bankrupt.
This is a mistake.
If it is a mistake...
then clearing it up shouldn't
take more than three months.
Ron, I've been having a bit
of a tussle today with someone.
It doesn't matter who.
But what does matter...
is that he got into my records.
I don't know how,
and that doesn't matter either.
- It's true, but--
- You've seen what he did.
He's got some kind
of a computer voodoo.
I don't know,
but he's got it, doesn't he?
Someone sure
caused you some trou ble.
I need this loan, Ron.
I need it for my life.
Now, nothing has changed
between yesterday and today.
I'm still the same guy.
I wasn't bankrupt yesterday...
and I'm not bankrupt today!
I'm sorry, Mr. Gipson.
The computer says you are.
Now it doesn't!
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
Did you know that my father
had a mistress for 20 years?
Don't lie.
I didn't know it was 20 years.
Why didn't she leave him?
Because she loved him so much.
She decided it'd be hypocritical to
leave a man for cheating at home...
when the expensive life
she enjoyed so much...
was paid for by a man whose job
was based on finding ways to cheat.
Is that your opinion of the law?
What do you think
the law is, Gav...
at this level of the game,
at my father's level of the game...
at your level of the game?
It is a big, vicious rumble, Gavin.
The peopIe who founded
this law firm...
and the people who sustain it...
understand the way the world works.
the way we've been living--
You have to steal.
I could've married an honest man.
I could've lived
with a professor of...
Middle English, for example...
if he was a moraI man
and had tenure at Princeton.
But I didn't.
I married a Wall Street lawyer.
who lives in a world...
where when a man comes to the edge
of things, he has to commit...
to staying there and living there.
Can you live there, Gavin?
Can you live there with me?
You're not gonna do
anything stupid like leaving me.
You've had fantasies, I'm sure.
So have I.
But we're married.
I knew about Michelle.
I knew when it was happening,
and I knew when it was finished.
And I know you love me.
You do love me,
and I love you too.
I'm your wife,
Just let me help you, Gavin.
Let me help you with this.
What do you want me to do?
Take the signature page from
the living will and attach it...
of the power of appointment.
Bring it to the courthouse,
and then meet me for dinner tonight.
We're going out
with Karen and Carl.
I forgot about Karen and Carl.
And I remembered.
We're a team, Gav.
We're partners.
- Deal's a deal.
- The credit's back on?
- I used my MasterCard just now.
- Sir, we don't allow cell phones.
That was fast.
Okay, one second.
They turned my credit back on.
Now I owe you something.
Thank God you did not
throw that away this morning.
- So how you wanna do this?
- One second.
- You wanna come to my offllce?
- No.
- Why not?
- You got your car?
- It's at the office, yeah.
- How about the courthouse?
You do have to turn this thing in,
don't you?
- Right.
- See, I'm thinking about you.
Okay, listen, Doyle--
Look, please. You aren't gonna
get all soft on me, are you?
I just want you to know
that I'm sorry, and I just--
I'm just glad this thing is over.
Don't get too close.
Hey, my hero.
My champion.
It's all over.
He called me.
He's giving me back the file.
Really?
- What do you mean?
- Because there's--
- There's one thing I couIdn't do.
- What couldn't you do?
This damn bankruptcy
has a llfe of its own.
What couldn't you do?
I couIdn't undo the bankruptcy.
Sorry.
Sh*t.
Are you drunk?
Are you sure?
Yes, I'm sure.
It's nice.
Show me the house.
On which was hung
the Savior of the worId
Come
Let us worship
This is the wood of the cross
This is the wood of the cross
On which was hung
the Savior of the worId
Come
Let us worship
Do you know why
I took the job in Oregon?
To...
get as far away from me
as possible.
I looked at a lot of cities, and...
Portland...
has thousands of nice, dull,
bearded guys.
And I thought, you know,
guys like this just--
Guys.
I could find one.
A better version of you, Doyle.
A version of you,
What I always...
wanted you to be,
and what you were for a little...
when I met you.
In the name of the Father and
the Son and the Holy Spirit, amen.
I don't-- It's all right.
I don't want confession.
I just-- All the seats
were full out there...
so I came in here
Just to listen to the song.
